Mouse down then mouseover

[twodogs]

Is it possible to combine these two events so that the onmouseover event doesn't occur until the onmousedown event occurs and then the onmouseover finishes when the onMouseout event occurs? Excuse all the mice!

Please clarify your question. What are trying to accomplish? Is it a "click and drag" script?

I have series of checkboxes in a table that are selected when the table cell is clicked. I would like to be able to do this by clicking on the first cell then dragging the cursor over the next cells rather than having to click on each one. I can do it by using onmouseover but that is not selective enough.

Hi twodogs,

Have a look at this demo: Click-n-Drag Checkboxes

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great javascript

I've been playing around with your code trying to highlight de row but with no luck . I can highlight a row with:

color1 = 'ffffcc'; 
document.getElementById('row1').style.backgroundColor = color1;

But how do I get the Id for the row?

this.CheckboxObj.style.backgroundColor = color1;

only highlights the checkbox.
